It's not the same.
Eurosport 4K was only available on satellite and cable providers, whereas the BBC have to use a method that is technically available to all licence fee payers.
So on the V6, Eurosport 4K was a hidden broadcast channel, not a broadband carried stream that iPlayer is.
So I can understand why the BBC have targeted this as a trial of live HLG, as that probably don't (yet) have the capacity or experience to offer an open access full live 4K stream for the World Cup in any format through iPlayer.
